The shoes are great. That's a given; they're Doc Martens.
But the service from Zappos was the best I've ever had anywhere. I ordered on Saturday, and by Monday they were on my doorstep. Customer for life now.

I bought a pair of 1914s (the taller looking version of this boot) and they were just a hair to small in size 8. Then I got the 1460s in size 9: it was huge. Finally I got the 1460s in a size 8 and the length was perfect. In case you're having sizing trouble with Docs, my experience was that a size 8 in women's is a different size than a size 8 in unisex/men's. At the end of the day, it's a good boot. I'm happy I finally got one to fit. Fun with skirts and tights.

The Original Doc Marten boot, in white. I've owned a pair of the same style in black for almost a decade. After much consideration, I came to the realization that if black goes with anything, then white might be able to, too, right? Yes. These white Doc's go well with outfits of any color, when paired with skinny jeans (or in my female friend's case, leggings/tights). If you keep them clean, you're bound to get compliments from strangers. The boots are the right height, not too short & not too tall. As expected, the leather is tough when you start off, but it's nothing a few days/weeks of walking and a few 5 minute shoe-stretches before & after each wear won't fix in no time.

These are the only boots my husband will wear, although they have a wearing in period of true Doc Martens, apparently they are worth the effort. And how can I complain? If I only had to replace my only shoes once every 5 years, I would be impressed too!

Okay from day one the comfort is great. I work outside all day long on my feet. So in the past I had a pair of Dr. Martens and they was the best boot I've ever bought. Now I needed a pair again for my job. The day I got them and put them on I never had anymore foot pain or blisters. Not like any other new pair of boots I've bought in the past and regret buying. Dr Martens is the best hands down. I will never buy any other brands again.

These shoes are a bargain! This is the second pair I bought for my daughter who is a bit tough on shoes. The first pair lasted more than 10 years of heavy usage. Divide the price by 10 and you'll see what a deal these are!

They looked wonderful, but they were a bit too big and wide! I looked a little like I had clown feet, and had to return. Nonetheless, I got the "Brown Polished Incuk" and the leather was soft and high quality!

What can I say? they're Doc Martins! I think they really hit the perfect shade of red without looking too bright, and with a red shirt and my black leather jacket the compliments and admiring looks abound! Good taste and quality will never go out of style. It was worth it just to see that look in my wife's eye when she looked me over the way she did years ago! Be a little bold, unleash the non-conformist inside you, but unleash it in style! As with all Docs they were a little hard to break in the first few wearings, but they began to feel perfect in no time!

These shoes rock, as my daughter says. I had to wear the shoes while traveling recently and I could not believe how comfortable and great looking they are even for a 50 years old lady. I want to get a red pair for myself soon.

Dr. Martens have always lasted a long time. THis particular style takes about 40 hours worth of wear in order to break in. Mind you I baught the smooth finish, so the other may take more/less time, but once they're worn in, they're comfortable from dusk to dawn and then some. If you have a wide foot, no need to order wide, I wear wide and order medium and there's plenty of room.

Great boot. I ordered these in the smooth blue and they are a nice, navy blue color. They have worn well although they do take a little time to break in (but anyone who is familiar with Doc Martens already knows that).

Very comfortable boot. Don't expect them to look new after the first day or two though. They mark up really easily. I was happy with this, however, because they looked aged and worn in within the first week.

This is a very comfortable boot. I was able to go out walking in them right away.
However, even though I take a English size 8, I found the American size 9, its equivalent, slightly larger.
But that's actually okay now, as I wear thicker socks, it being winter, an' all

My teenage daughter picked the shoes for herself. We were a bit surprised about the type of leather, which is very nice, sturdy, and forgiving. The boots looked well even after walking through thick snow (needed to be dried like every other shoe), they were warm enough although they are no winter/snow boots. We strongly recommend them.

These boots are fantastic. They are less clunky than I thought they would be (ordered the men's because women's shoes are too narrow for my wide feet) and the leather is quite soft for a new shoe. I've been wearing them all day and for me, there does not seem to be a break-in period at all. They do feel a tad larger - maybe a half size and that may help with the comfort right out of the box. The slightly larger fit does not bother me at all and I would urge folks NOT to order a size smaller. There is nothing worse than a tight-fitting shoe. A little more wiggle room can be easily fixed with thicker socks (especially convenient in the winter) and/or insoles. I love the Scholl's memory foam insoles which I use on top of the insoles that came with this boot, if I want to use thinner socks. This boot'sinsoles are removable, meaning you can replace them with thicker insoles or ones with more arch support, if so desired. Zappos service is simply outstanding. I placed my order on a Saturday, which also happened to be a holiday (Jan 1). I was hoping to receive the shoes by the end of this week (chose the free 4-5 day shipping) but the order was shipped on Sunday (!) and arrived at my door Monday afternoon!
